Live Stream problems
 

I am trying to stream online media and am having problems. Gxine tries to open it but I get an error "No demuxer found stream not recognized" I searched and found a thread but it didn't look like anyone had a solution. I googled the problem and it seems that a lot of ubuntu users had this problem and they fixed it by installing "libxine1-ffmpeg" I looked for it and could only find it as a deb or rpm package. So I don't know how to fix that.

I tried Mplayer and it didn't work, and I have no idea how to fix it for that.

I tried real player and it said I needed text/html component but couldn't find it.

And VLC player actually plays the audio but no video. So I just need a way to stream live video. Preferably I would like to get gxine working because thats what firefox defaults to online. Do I have to get the libxine1-ffmpeg and where can I get it?

Hi Wardub,

Do you have the xine-lib-1.x.xx.x package installed ?

You can get a copy HERE

You could also try installing the ffmpeg package (and it's dependencies).

And you could also try installing the Mplayer-Codecs

After you have set them up, reboot and see how it goes.

Hope this helps :)

Ive solve the same problem by installing Mplayer and codecs, codecs in the same directory with xine codecs, compile mplayer from source.
